Responsibilities

• Product design responsibility for all low voltage vehicle wire harnesses including low voltage signal wiring, AC and 12vDC appliance power, and other vehicle sensor, component, and controller wiring
• Work with systems engineering along with other members of the power systems, vehicle engineering, and controls teams to build out a full wiring diagram of the vehicle
• Select all off the shelf components (connectors, terminals, wire, loom, shields, etc) with a focus on cost, quality, and supply chain robustness
• Work with CAD design resources to create all wire harness models and drawings for sourcing
• Work with power systems and vehicle teams to package all wire harness components on the interior and exterior of the RV cabin
• Create DFMEA for critical components and assemblies
• Work with engineering teams and techs to create component level and sub-system level tests where necessary
• Help to create DVP&R to ensure all engineering requirements are met
• Collaborate with the integration and test teams to carry out design validation plan and ensure proper performance of the wire harnesses
• Conduct detailed mechanical analysis of subsystems and components as needed to ensure we meet all functional, durability and longevity requirements
• Develop detailed mechanical specifications based on ambiguous product requirements. Support definition of validation plans and root cause analysis for test failures
• Understand interdependencies between vehicle, power system, and controls at all stages of development
• Technical mentorship and guidance to growing team of mechanical engineers

Minimum Qualifications

• BS in Mechanical, Electrical or Systems Engineering or equivalent experience
• 7+ years of mechanical engineering design experience, with direct experience spec’ing, designing, and validating wire harnesses
• Experience creating sub-system and system level wiring diagrams with hardware engineers
• Experience in full product development cycle: requirements definition, concept design, development, test, manufacturing
• Experience creating wire harness drawings
• Experience working with suppliers to create EOL wire harness quality tests
• Experience creating DFMEAs and DVP&Rs for wire harnesses

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in automotive or transportation industries (truck/bus/rail), preferred
• Experience creating complex CAD models and drawings with plastics and metal parts.  Experience with CATIA and GD&T preferred
• Experience with High Voltage Systems preferred

Equity

• Lightship compensation consists of the yearly salary above plus equity, which gives you a stake in the company.
